Hi all,
i have problems with tables an foreign keys. i created the following
tables: (i did not copy all the command, only the important (in my point of view)
CREATE TABLE element ( id bigint NOT NULL, site_id bigint, type_id bigint NOT NULL, name character
varying(512), description text, active boolean NOT NULL
);
CREATE TABLE crmuser ( username character varying(32) NOT NULL, firstname character varying(64), lastname
charactervarying(64)
)
INHERITS (element);
CREATE TABLE "comment" ( user_id bigint, created timestamp without time zone, content text, element_id bigint
NOTNULL
)
INHERITS (element);
CREATE INDEX idx_comment_id ON "comment" USING btree (id);
CREATE INDEX idx_comment_user_id ON "comment" USING btree (user_id);
CREATE INDEX idx_comment_element_id ON "comment" USING btree (element_id);
ALTER TABLE ONLY element ADD CONSTRAINT element_pkey PRIMARY KEY (id);
ALTER TABLE ONLY crmuser ADD CONSTRAINT crmuser_pkey PRIMARY KEY (id);
ALTER TABLE ONLY "comment" ADD CONSTRAINT comment_pkey PRIMARY KEY (id);
ALTER TABLE ONLY "comment" ADD CONSTRAINT "$3" FOREIGN KEY (user_id) REFERENCES crmuser(id);
ALTER TABLE ONLY "comment" ADD CONSTRAINT "$4" FOREIGN KEY (element_id) REFERENCES element(id);
when i try to insert an comment with element_id = id of an user which is
visible when i call "select * from element", i get an foreign key
violation error: element_id=XY is not available in element.
i would like to reference to the element table, because i have some
tables which inherit from element and i would like to add comments to
these elements.
is this impossible or did i do a silly mistake? i did not find a
solution unsing google.
- Moritz
